 I don't doubt it.

You reminded me that Bill Press was ranting about this recently and
there is some
web site. There is some paranoia because of stories about
NYC water being at least temporarily contaminated, also some episodes
here in D.C. area.  Our water is governed by at least two dysfunctional
local
govs -- D.C. and Prince Georges County.

Personally I use tap water wherever available.
